Hi!

Thanks to Nick, Bruce, Shaun and Ben for their presentations of the
post-midterm status of their project(s). This leaves Craig (absent),
Steve, Anne and T.J. (and me?) for next Wednesday. Handouts, overheads
and/or screen presentations are welcome. Let me know if you need help.

On the basis of this experience and given our original plans, let me make
the following suggestion for your 498 work for the remaining weeks:

1. Scope of projects: Follow either (a) the original "rules" , namely
pursue two different projects (#2 and #3, assuming that you have covered
#1 already by putting your page-work on-line and into HTML, hypertextual
design etc.) 

or:

(b) make two sub-projects out of your present "project", by 
	(1) developing a general, more-or-less skeleton framework page
(with bibliography, directory etc. etc.) which identifies the general
context (e.g. Airport Expansion Page, New Stadium Page, Urban Rapid
Transit Page) and which MUST include literature about the general issues
involved and links to places other than Seattle)

	(2) the MUCH more specific issues or question which you are
pursuing within this general context. 

This modus operandi allows us to establish the continuity of student
research which I will have to insist on starting at this very moment
(considering that there is already some student research on these
and other topics linked to my pages)

2.These rules do NOT apply to Shaun (and possibly others in the future)
since both components are ALREADY built into his system of pages.

3. ALL projects will have to be presented in a final go-around
electronically with overhead (in the Collaboratory) during the 10th and
eleventh week, NO EXCEPTIONS (December 4th and December 11). I expect that
those among you who had (have) to miss any (third party) presentation
(incl.this and next week) will make comments (at least) about the
electronic version of these presentations directly via our matrix.

4. If you do not explicitly use the week-by-week mode of communication
anymore, please indicate in the weekly matrix slot where we can find your
weekly work and please help us to get there. Thanks and  :-)

							Cheers. G.K.
